Report from the Blogosphere
Treat yourself to the article Blogs in the Feb. 14 New York Review of Books, in which Sarah Boxer explains the history and practice of blogging. Among my favorite lines: "The largest number of blog posts, some 37 percent, are now in Japanese . . . and most of these are polite and self-effacing — "karaoke for shy people." Thirty-six percent of posts are in English, and most of them are the opposite of polite and self-effacing." The print edition of this magazine is available at the library. Among books named in the article is Blog! How the Newest Media Revolution Is Changing Politics, Business, and Culture by David Kline.
